Bringing additional power to the Brewers, Ben Oglivie was a three time All Star who would win the Home Run crown in 1980.  Oglivie would hit 25 Home Runs or more three times and drove in over 100 runs twice.  He would also hold the distinction of being amongst the first Outfielders to receive the Silver Slugger.  It is worth noting that Oglivie, who was born in Panama, was the first non-American to win the Home Run Title in the American League.  Ogilvie totalled 1,144 Hits, 176 Home Runs and batted .276 for the Brewers.

7. Don Money

A four-time All-Star with the Milwaukee Brewers, Don Money was with the Milwaukee Brewers for eleven seasons after getting his start in Philadelphia.  Money was known for being good defensively and he provided solid numbers with his bat in the 1970s.
A Milwaukee Brewer during the heart of his career, George Scott would accrue one of his three All-Star Game appearances while playing in Wisconsin.  Scott would win the Gold Glove in all five of his seasons in Milwaukee, and with his bat he would share the lead for the American League Home Run title in 1976.  That year he would also win the RBI Title and finish eighth in MVP voting.  Scott would actually receive MVP votes every year he was a Milwaukee Brewer.  Scott amassed 851 Hits with 115 Home Runs as a Brewer.

A highly touted first-round pick in 2002, Prince Fielder was a physically imposing left-handed slugger who had spent his childhood taking batting practice in big league stadiums alongside his father, Cecil. Debuting in 2005, he quickly became the centerpiece of a young, explosive core that aimed to bring winning baseball back to the shores of Lake Michigan.

In 2007, his second full season, Fielder blasted 50 home runs, making him the youngest player in baseball history to reach that plateau and surpassing the franchise record previously held by Gorman Thomas. This early stretch served as the formal introduction to a player who paired elite strength with a surprising technical discipline at the plate, earning him his first of three Silver Slugger Awards and a third-place finish in the MVP voting.  Basically, like father, like son!

In 2009 and 2011, Fielder established himself as a top power hitter. In 2009, he led the National League with 141 RBIs and was the first Brewer to win the Home Run Derby. In 2011, he hit 38 home runs and drove in 120 runs, securing his spot as a perennial All-Star. His high offensive level included an on-base percentage over .400 in three seasons.

Between 2006 and 2011, he was a fixture in the middle of the diamond, famously playing in 162 games in three seasons. While mainly known for power, he showed versatility with a .299 batting average as a Brewer, proving he's a complete hitter rather than a one-dimensional slugger. His stats include 230 home runs and 656 RBIs, reflecting a high-volume contribution during the team's most successful era.

After helping the Brewers reach the 2011 NLCS, he departed in free agency for the Detroit Tigers. Fielder was inducted into the Brewers Wall of Honor in 2018 and the Walk of Fame in 2022.
